This digital DJ promo for Jazzanova‘s new single “I Human” features a mesmerizing vocal delivery by Detroit singer/musician, Paul Randolph. Randolph has been a regular member of the Jazzanova live band, touring with them over the last few years. In his words, “I Human” is a statement of the feeling you have when you create music and interact with people in a one-on-one and personal live situation, instead of ambivalent text messages and e-mails. The package also features an edit by Alex Barck of Jazzanova. A 12″ vinyl and a digital release of the single will precede Jazzanova’s upcoming new album Funkhaus Studio Sessions (due in May 2012) and the tour of the same name. Watch the video for “I Human” ft.

The Art of Influence Remixed is a diverse reinvention of Second Sky‘s stunning debut album as interpreted by an array of producers, ranging from emerging talent to veterans alike. In this digital DJ sampler, Alex H reworks the middle-eastern flavors of “Hourglass,” replacing the dark, driving undercurrent of the original with a new sense of lightness and momentum fueled by lush synths that suggest a notion of flight. Legendary producer Kenny Dope brings his body-moving expertise, turning the laid-back vibes of “Under the Line” into a monstrous house-music experience. Rounding out the set, Kaushik M, Holmes Ives, and AUditors DOmination, provide their unique and dynamic renditions of “The Others” and the title track.
